Telkom’s access to sufficient radio frequency spectrum on the LTE-A technology has given it an edge over other telcos in the country. Telkom has access to 60MHz of spectrum in the 2,3GHz band, some of which it is currently using for its LTE-A rollout.

The company first unveiled its LTE-A plans December 2014, when it demonstrated peak speeds of 380Mbit/s at a consumer technology event.
